Sanford (Sandy) Silverman
SILVERMAN: Sanford (Sandy) Silverman passed away peacefully at home at age 89 on Tuesday, May 28, 2024. Son of the late Manny and Libby Silverman; devoted husband to Phyllis (née Reifer); cherished father of David (Marcie), Jeff/Yaacov Moshe (Leiba) and Scott (Lisa); and loving grandfather of 11 grandchildren. Sandy was a Squirrel Hill native and graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School in 1954. He raised his family in the suburb of Pleasant Hills and retired in Sarasota, Florida, where he could golf year-round and enjoy the sunshine. Sandy loved all Pittsburgh sports, but was a fanatic when it came to the Pens. When he had season tickets near the penalty box, he could regularly be seen taunting opposing players and brandishing a hanky at Phil Esposito. Conversely, he was a graceful dancer who swept Phyllis off her feet. It was a joy to watch them dance. Graveside services and interment at Temple Sinai Memorial Park were private. PJC
